I apologize for my tardiness in joining this thread, but I've been pretty busy with other things the last few days!
None of this data is "official", but here are a few things I saw/heard around here the last couple days:
Here in Los Alamos, we ended up with about 2 feet of snow. On Monday night, when I arrived home from work, there was about 6" on my deck, but about 12" had fallen already, half of it having melted as it fell due to the warm ground temps from several days of near 60 degrees previous to Monday.
About another foot of snow fell by the time the stars came out Tuesday night.
Wednesday morning's low of 6 degrees supplanted the previous record low of 14 degrees for March 16, and I guess record lows were abundant throughout NM.
NOAA radio (WXJ33 from Santa Fe) reported that at least 25 stations all around NM have reported record snowfall for the season, and Santa Fe's ski area reported 3 feet of snow from the storm at the base.
I-25 was closed from ABQ to the CO line on Tuesday, a stretch of about 230 miles.
We received a truck delivery in Santa Fe from Denver on Monday afternoon, and the driver said the truck had 5000 lbs. of ice on it. (What does a Hummer weigh? LOL)
ABQ has about 400% of its average precip for the year-to-date.
I am going skiing Saturday.
Here's another sat option, Jay, in case file size is ever an issue:
